ISSA-LA InfoSec Summit XI

Keeping data safe while outside the office is significantly harder than data secured inside your company. Executives & others who travel extend the corporate ‘perimeter’, increasing the risk of data exposure. This session will include suggestions & examples on how those in the mobile workforce can safeguard themselves while outside the traditional ‘perimeter’ and avoid being a victim of information theft on the road or at home. 

Loss or exposure of data as employees travel the globe is a serious issue - for both the corporate and government sectors. Every day, thousands of people have their computers stolen or information compromised by a myriad of methods. From wireless thieves to techno-social engineering to tried-and-true ‘old school’ methods, there are people around the world and around the corner waiting to separate you from your data. 

This popular presentation will show examples of methods and tools used by thieves – and will provide you with helpful tips and pointers to lower the risk to travelers and educate users to help safeguard sensitive data. Whether you are a security professional responsible for protecting  others who travel or you are a ‘Road Warrior’ yourself, this presentation is for you!
